it is a shame too, because she clearly isn't fat, but those who hire models are looking for EXTRA EXTRA skinny.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I would think she would have the better body to show clothes on (being, you know, an actual body), but that is not how the industry works. This decade.

In related model thing, I was shocked when London on ANTM won the jeans and then said she couldn't fit any of them and had to give them away. I was like wait, is she big? Has she gained weight? Is this going to be an ISSUE in upcoming episodes?

Seemingly London has gained some weight and is fighting to get it back down.
My question was, didn't they give her jeans in her size? I noticed the other girls going through them and trying them on ... so I don't quite get what the prize was.

Did London even try them on? I thought she just looked at them and gave them away -- like, she saw they were size 0 and knew she was inching up into a 2, so didn't want the trauma of trying.

I KNOW! That was so stupid. I think she's got bigger hips/ass in proportion to the rest of her body than some of the other girls was the issue.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Survivor stuff: Good episode, I thought, even if there was no Tribal Council. Lots of scheming and planning and of course, Coach. Ah, Coach. If the show was only called "Douchebag," he'd have it sewn up.
I am finding Blonde Hawk-face Guy's comments to the camera hysterical.

I was really bummed there was no tribal becuase I was actually excited to see what would happen.
Also, with Joe leaving we don't get to see a fake idol played!
It is interesting how much this group is willing to really look at their options.
Both Coach and Tyson crack me up.

When Tyson talked about his "hot breath on the back of his neck--even on the small of his back," it was the funniest ever.

Especially give the Utah/Mormon connection.
